HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – In March and April, Hopkinsville High School’s athletic department faced some challenges as the head cheer and golf coaches left, and the athletic director Black Leach stepped down. But the school has quickly named a new AD with HHS alumni Jacob Ezell taking on the job.
“First, I would like to thank my family for allowing me to devote my time to various sports at HHS,” said Ezell. “I would also like to thank the administrative team at HHS along with Coach Stovall for giving me the opportunity to lead the athletics department at Hopkinsville High School. Growing up in the Tiger community as a player and fan, it feels like a dream come true to be involved with athletics at a different level. I am excited for this new journey as the school’s AD.”
Ezell graduated from HHS in 2014, playing for the Tiger football team throughout. He has been working in the school since 2017 in various roles as a full time substitute, lead custodian, assistant football coach, and events manager, according to a news release from Christian County Public Schools.
“We are excited to welcome Coach Ezell as our new athletic director at HHS,” said HHS Principal Cindy Campbell. “Coach Ezell is an individual who has high energy and we are excited about this new opportunity for him. We look forward to him leading our athletic program moving forward.”
